Question

The area of a rectangle is 33 m”, and the length of the rectangle is 5 m less than double the width. Find the dimensions of the

• rectangle

Answer 1

Width: 5:5

Length: 6

Area: (6) (5.5 = 33m^2

Explanation:

Width: x

Length: 2x - 5

(2x-5)(x) = 33

2x^2 - 5x - 33 = 0

(2x - 11) (x + 3) = 0

2x - 11 = 0

x = 11/2 = 5.5

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

[(2*5.5)-5](5.5) = 33
